So you want to stream video but don’t want to use YouTube? That requires setting up and hosting a number of different components so that you can deliver a broadcast quality experience to your users. But what are those components? How do they connect together and inter-operate? How do you ensure that they will scale appropriately to meet your audience growth? Join this webinar to learn the answers to these and other important questions as we address the challenges at each step of creating a streaming video architecture.

Webinar Recording

Topics Covered

  1. Let’s say an organization wants to start streaming but they don’t want to use YouTube or Facebook. They want to own the entire end-to-end experience. What are the components they need to implement and how do those components fit together to deliver the stream?
  2. How would an organization calculate the amount of bandwidth it needs to support streaming and VOD services? Where are some of the bottlenecks in a streaming architecture?
  3. What are some of the considerations for scaling a video streaming architecture? How can an organization expand its infrastructure without having to purchase additional bandwidth, setup more datacenters, etc?
  4. Consumers want “broadcast quality” experiences from their online video. That means providing them the appropriate bitrate for their specific environment, device, location, etc. How is this accomplished?
  5. One of the benefits of using a network operator provided set-top-box is that they can troubleshoot outages and other issues. How can we replicate that online? What are some of the critical KPIs that content distributors need to measure and how can they measure them?
  6. Let’s talk about Yahoo! and the NFL. Describe some of the challenges you faced in streaming a live football game and how you overcame them
  7. What are some of the key challenges that organizations face in streaming video? What “gotchas” do they need to look out for?
